*** Official #10 Illinois vs #4 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

Not seeing many talking heads giving us much of a chance in this one. I’ve watch Illinois play three times and I respectfully disagree. Clones by five.

It's actually the way I prefer it. Keeping doubting and we will continue to prove you wrong.

3 hours to tip. How's the nerves, friends? Mine are rough.

Just really hoping to see Lee Cassell's name pop up as one of the officials at the other games.

FWIW
The prop pick sites last week all had Isaac Jones under 13.5 points. And that worked out.

The same sites I follow all of picks are on Domask under 15.5 points
And Domask under 4.5 assists.

Hope they are right!

Not concerned about this game much. This is what I wanted not byu again.

The first game being played tonight is in.... Los Angeles? It started at 4 pm Los Angeles time.

And we get to play at 10:15 pm in Boston? What the holy F is going on?

Why not start the first Boston game at 7 pm Boston time (6 pm central) instead of 8 pm Boston time? And start the first Los Angeles game at 6 pm LA time (8 pm central)?? So glad the NCAA is watching out for the student athlete.

No players should be starting a game at 10:15 pm at night. Total BS.

The Big 12 has to work harder for their top seeds than the Big 10. Illinois is a case in point. A couple of years ago, they lost 6 games, but were given a No 1 seed based solely on them being a Big 10 champion. Illinois lost in the round of 32 to Loyola-Chicago, who lost their next game to Oregon State, who lost their next game to Houston. That has to be one of the weakest No. 1 seed performances in the last 10 or 15 years.

2 #1 seeds have lost to 16’s recently. Losing to KenPom number 10 team in the round of 32 doesn’t come close to those.

Do we get the same refs that just missed that obvious travel call on UCONN?

 

[CyNews]

Nope, you're free to post irrational **** during the game. And we're free to make fun of you for it.

I’m guessing criticism of BRE and the guards. I hope they make you eat naysayer words.

I don't like it, but they're big boys. They'll be fine. When it comes to dealing with adversity I believe in our team being able to handle it better than their opponents every time.

Because that would make sense.

In this scenario you wouldn’t have any staggering of games?
